Today was the Jewel concert. I was working tables up front, so basically got paid for a front row seat. She was great. The company I'm working for is a joke, but it's money... the rest of the event was nice, fun to watch people donate $10,000 and $25,000 to a good cause; especially in this economy. (Event was for the foster children in SD). My roommate (a former foster mom) and her friend went, so it was super nice to seem them there too! I'll get her photos soon and post them- the concert, our day in Balboa park and me and Derrik!
Anyway, Jewel sang this song, and told us about how she became homeless in San Diego for a bit when she fell on hard times. I remember the song from when I was 15 ish, but today they hold a whole other meaning to me. Thought they were appropriate for me/everyone in this economy, and just about life... So, while i don't believe in God (I believe in god(esses)) I still wanted to share... wish I had a live recording of it!
Hands lyrics
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's handsWe are God's hands
So, it was overall a nice night- just wish we had made more money... I got home at midnight, exhausted and a bit sore- so, I hopped in our SPA! Even though it was 100 out today, my muscles loved the relaxing hot water and jets. I laid and looked at all the stars (we're far enough from town that you get great star views). Tomorrow is a day of more interviews, the DMV to become a Cali resident, the bank to get a Cali account, and other similar fun and exciting things!
I hope that I remember to enjoy the spa, pool, and stars once I'm working 2-3 jobs and going to school full-time. :) Remind me, will ya?
